Chapter 59 You're a Bad Guy
Little Peach Blossom stared at him in confusion: "Don't you like chicken legs?"
Chicken drumsticks are so delicious, how could anyone not like them?
Little Peach Blossom looked completely puzzled.
Li Zhen was aloof and arrogant; he wouldn't even bother with a little brat.
He picked up a piece of braised pork. He was the one who cooked it. Humph, Grandpa really still has to rely on him. Without him, how could he cook braised pork? They definitely didn't eat any at noon. He saw it. There was no less meat at dinner. They must have used the stove at noon!
"Little Peach Blossom, it's okay, you eat. Don't mind him, he's just asking for trouble!" Tieguai Li gave his grandson a threatening look. Would Li Zhen care?
Definitely not, he just pretended not to see it and focused on eating!
Yes, why should he feel guilty! He shouldn't feel guilty at all! He should eat meat and rice heartily! It would be best if he ate all the food, so that neither Grandpa nor that girl would get any!
belch!
I think I'm full.
Li Zhen was somewhat disgusted with his stomach, thinking it was too small.
I glanced at the food that was still more than half full on the table. Ugh, what a waste!
Tieguai Li glanced at his grandson. To be honest, he wasn't so disgusted before because of the comparison. But now, looking at Xiao Taohua eating obediently and taking small bites, and then at his grandson wolfing down his food and getting full in just a few bites, he suddenly felt that he couldn't bear to look at him.
A twelve-year-old boy is not even as good as a four-year-old child. It's shameful, so shameful! If this weren't his own grandson, he wouldn't even give him a second glance!
After Xiaotaohua finished eating, Tieguai Li ordered his grandson to wash the dishes. Li Zhen wanted to cause trouble, but then he remembered that washing dishes was something he did every day, so he decided to wash the dishes first and then go to settle accounts with his grandfather! And that girl, don't think he didn't know, that girl was definitely trying to please him! Humph, do you think he's the kind of person you can just please? Absolutely not!
"Here, have an apple. The chef cut it into pieces for you so it's easy to eat."
"Thank you, Master."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Tieguai Li watched with a smile as his apprentice took bites of the apple, his heart melting. Why wasn't he a granddaughter back then?
But having another apprentice is not bad, even a granddaughter might not be as cute as Little Peach Blossom.
"Little Peach Blossom, don't think about today's lessons when you get home. Get some rest and relax your mind."
"Yes, I'll listen to my master."
"Why are you so well-behaved?"
"Mom also said that Little Peach Blossom is the best behaved." Little Peach Blossom said proudly.
"Yes, our little peach blossom is naturally well-behaved."
Little Peach Blossom grinned, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
"Little Peach Blossom, your mom and dad are here to pick you up!"
"Dad! Mom!" Little Peach Blossom rushed out.
"Slow down, slow down, don't fall." Tieguai Li followed behind worriedly.
"Don't run so fast." Lin Guangsheng picked up his daughter in his arms.
"Dad, I'll remember, I'll be slower next time."
Lin Guangsheng looked at Tieguai Li, who had followed him, and said, "Today has been really troublesome."
"Hey, it's no big deal. Little Peach Blossom is my disciple." Tieguai Li waved his hand.
"Mom and Dad, the chef gave me chicken legs and braised pork today. They were both delicious."
"This is too much of a waste," Lin Guangsheng quickly said.
"What do you mean by spending money? Little Peach Blossom is my apprentice. Alright, it's getting late, you should all go back now. Little Peach Blossom has been working hard all day, let her get some rest tonight." Tieguai Li made a move to send them away. Lin Guangsheng wanted to discuss Little Peach Blossom's meals, but the other party simply wouldn't listen.
He hadn't thought about that when he became Lin Guangsheng's apprentice, but now, hearing about Xiao Taohua's meals, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Alright, Guang Sheng, let's go back first," Yin Qing advised from the side. Tieguai Li seemed likely to get angry if they actually gave him money or anything like that.
Moreover, since he is the master, he will be the master for life.
When Little Peach Blossom grows up, she'll have to take care of her master in his old age.
"Hurry back, or the road will be difficult to walk on in the dark."
"Then we'll be going now. We'll bring Little Peach Blossom over again tomorrow." Lin Guangsheng touched his nose; he was genuinely a little embarrassed.
"Let's go, let's hurry, I still need to close the door."
"Little Peach Blossom, come here and say goodbye to your master."
"Goodbye, Master. See you tomorrow."
"Okay, bye-bye, remember to get plenty of rest tonight, okay?"
"Yes, Little Peach Blossom understands."
"Then my husband and I will be leaving now."
"Let's go."
So when Li Zhen finished washing the dishes and came out, only his grandfather was left in the yard...
"Come on, Li Zhen, let's have a good chat." Tieguai Li smiled at his grandson.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, please, please talk this out." Li Zhen felt a chill run down his spine and his skin tightened. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about his grandfather's expression.
"Speak properly, right? You have to be able to listen!" As soon as he finished speaking, Tieguai Li pulled something out from behind his back. Li Zhenteng's eyes widened, and he tried to run away!
"If you dare to run, I'll break your legs!"
Li Zhen dared not run away anymore.
"Come here! Yes, sit on that bench! Come on, tell Grandpa, what have you been up to these past few days!"
Li Zhen retorted in a low voice, "I didn't make a scene."
"Ha, not kidding? Do you think I'm blind and deaf?"
"It was your fault in the first place."
"Speak louder!"
"It's all your fault!" Since his grandfather had said that, Li Zhen couldn't hold back anymore. He had been feeling so wronged these past few days: "You're clearly my grandfather, so why do you have to take on apprentices? And not only that, you treat them so well! I'm your grandson! I ran away from home today and you didn't even come looking for me! You've changed your mind, you don't like me anymore, and you don't want me to be your grandson anymore. You're a bad person! Waaah!"
Tieguai Li looked at his grandson crying in the moonlight, his hand holding the axe fell limply to his side. He slowly moved to his grandson's side and sat down on the other side of the bench: "Li Zhen, how old are you this year? Twelve, right? You've grown up so fast."
Tieguai Li fell silent as he spoke.
Li Zhen hiccuped as he cried, and then slowly began to sob.
For a moment, only Li Zhen's sobs could be heard in the courtyard.
The cicadas chirped incessantly in the summer heat. Finally, Tieguai Li sighed, reached out and rubbed his grandson's head: "Do you still remember what your parents looked like?"
Li Zhen wiped away his tears and looked at his grandfather.
Tieguai Li looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly fixed on the moon, yet also as if he saw nothing at all.
"I don't remember." His parents passed away when he was two years old, and he was raised by his grandfather. In his memory, his parents didn't exist. If it weren't for the fact that everyone else had parents, he would have thought that his grandfather was his parent.
"Yes, you were so young back then." Tieguai Li chuckled. "Back then..."
Tieguai Li slowly recounted the past that Li Zhen didn't know about. In that past, there was a spirited Tieguai Li, and there were parents that Li Zhen had never met. In that past, everyone was full of vigor, even the newborn Li Zhen was full of vigor.
Oh no, the power's out! I wonder if I'll be able to continue updating tonight.
